Is this your part?
Your old seat is a short brass insert down inside the valve pocket with a hex or square hole in the middle, visible once the stem is out. Back it out with a seat wrench and match the thread at 21/32 x 18, the hex socket size, and the tapered face.
When to replace it
The tub spout drips no matter how hard the handle is turned, water weeps past the handle, or a fresh stem washer stopped the drip for a week and then it came back. That pattern is a grooved seat face, not a bad washer.

What is in the box
- 10 brass bibb seats
- Seat wrench, stem washers and thread sealant are not included
How to install it
Time: 5 to 10 minutes per seat. Tools: Seat wrench, Screwdriver, Adjustable wrench, Thread sealant or PTFE tape.
- Shut off the water.
- Pull the handle and the stem.
- Seat the wrench squarely in the hex so it does not round out, and back the old seat out.
- Put thread sealant or PTFE tape on the new seat.
- Thread it in until snug, then stop. An overtightened brass seat can strip the pocket, and a stripped pocket means replacing the valve.
- Reassemble, restore water and check both handles.
Questions
Why does my Pfister faucet still drip after a new washer?
Years of washer movement and mineral deposits cut a groove into the seat face. Once the face is grooved, no washer will seal against it. Replace the seat.
What thread size are these seats?
21/32 in. x 18 threads per inch, the size Pfister catalogs as 970-500 and 5713.
How many valves does a 10 pack cover?
Ten seats rebuild three complete three-handle valves with one left over, or cover ten single-side repairs.
Is a seat wrench included?
No. You need a seat wrench that fits the hex socket.
